A painting party of the Aurora Bridge Mural (a.k.a. Bridge Way Mural) has been planned for this Saturday, September 24th, from 10a – 2p. After a few weeks of hard work by dedicated volunteers, not much remains to be done to repair the mural – and then volunteers can work on restoring it.
The Fremont Arts Council will host their 11th Luminata Lantern Parade, to celebrate the autumnal equinox, on Thursday September 22nd, starting at 7p at Green Lake.
Going on now, the Fremont Arts Council and Peter Toms are offering public workshops on the art of lantern making at the Powerhouse, at 3940 Fremont Avenue North. Workshops will take place Wednesday and Thursday, September 14th & 15th, from 6p – 9p, on Sunday, September 18th from Noon to 6p, and Tuesday and Wednesday, September 19th – 21st from 6p – 9p.
On Saturday, September 10th, the third public painting party will take place on the Aurora Bridge Mural (a.k.a. The Bridge Way Mural,) created by Patrick Gabriel in 1997. This will be a great opportunity to help remove graffiti and improve the surroundings – as well as building camaraderie among Fremonsters who love this art work!
Save up your unwanted, gently worn clothes, shoes and accessories and trade-them-out for new-to-you treasures at the Clothes Swap this Saturday, August 27th, from 1p – 5p. In addition to recycling in the best way possible – re-use – this event also raises funds for the Fremont Arts Council!
Volunteers are needed for a painting party scheduled for THIS SATURDAY, August 13th, from 10a – 2p, to remove graffiti from the beleaguered Bridge Way Mural. At 10a, volunteers can meet at the Powerhouse (3940 Fremont Avenue North) to help carry paint and supplies up to the mural. At the mural, volunteers will be needed all day to wield a paintbrush, cleaning supplies, and doing some landscaping at the mural along Bridge Way under Aurora Avenue.
Letter to the Editor, on ‘Back Room Politics For Fremont?’ column, dated July 13, 2011
Yes, Saturday, July 2nd starting at 2p is all about zombie culture, zombie fun and brains – for you. But for the Fremocentrist.com, this year’s Red, White & Dead fest – particularly the annual Zombie Walk through Fremont that begins its lurch at 6p – is about securing our World Record. So, slather on some fake blood, slip on a something worn and ripped (you know you were going to anyway…) and stagger down to North 35th Street & Phinney Avenue North for an afternoon zombie party!
As usual, the Fremont First Friday Art Walk (this month on July 1st) contains too much to see, do and experience during its much too short window, from 6p to 9p. Solution? Review the offerings (always listed in advance on the website) and plot a course.
This Saturday, June 25th, come enjoy the very first show of the 19th season of the Fremont Outdoor Cinema! Be among the first in Seattle to join the fun for 2011 – and one of the rare few to ever participate in a Shaun Of The Dead quote-along.
